Mixtures can either be homogeneous or heterogeneous. A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present.One example of a mixture is air. Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures.A homogeneous mixture in which there is both a solute and solvent present is also a solution.ir is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances.

Why does it glow blue? It's the Cherenkov radiation: 'Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.' It's going faster than the speed of light (in water).
Like a scene from Avatar but on our own planet: Natural phenomenon turns sea water an electric neon blue as it washes up on beach. It may look like an alien life-form has washed up on a beach, but this striking neon blue effect is a completely natural phenomenon. The incredible image was taken by photographer Doug Perrine during a visit to Vaadhoo, one of the Raa Atoll islands in the Maldives. It captures a natural chemical reaction called bioluminescence, which occurs when a micro-organism in the water is disturbed by oxygen.
